Son recovers from injury as Doherty and Davies drop to bench for United v Spurs

Son Heung-min (£9.0m) is fit to feature in Tottenham Hotspur’s clash with Manchester United this afternoon, having made a swift recovery from a hamstring injury.

Having initially ruled the Korean out until after the October international break, Jose Mourinho appeared to be slowly backpedalling on that initial prognosis during the week and Son indeed makes the starting XI this afternoon.

Kick-off in the penultimate match of Gameweek 4 is at 16:30 BST.

Son may have been passed fit but Mourinho has otherwise rung the changes from the Gameweek 3 draw against Newcastle United, no doubt in response to the Lilywhites’ brutal schedule that has seen them play cup matches on both Tuesday and Thursday this week.

Full-backs Matt Doherty (£5.9m) and Ben Davies (£4.9m) drop to the bench, while Giovani Lo Celso (£6.9m) isn’t risked after sustaining a knock in the 7-2 win over Maccabi Haifa.

Midfielders Lucas Moura (£6.9m) and Harry Winks (£5.5m) are also among the substitutes, having started all three Premier League games before today.

Dele Alli (£7.6m) makes the 18-man squad but again doesn’t feature from the start.

Serge Aurier (£5.2m), Sergio Reguilon (£5.5m), Moussa Sissoko (£4.8m), Tanguy Ndombele (£5.9m) and Erik Lamela (£5.9m) are the players who come into Spurs’ side at Old Trafford.

The Manchester United team news is a lot more straightforward.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made one alteration to his side from Gameweek 3, with Eric Bailly (£5.0m) replacing Victor Lindelof (£4.9m) at centre-half.

Almost 1.4 million FPL managers sold Son ahead of the Gameweek 4 deadline, with no other Fantasy asset suffering as many transfers out as the South Korea international in a single Gameweek so far this season.

Anthony Martial (£8.9m) was also out of favour, with his 303,342 sales making him the second-most sold FPL forward of this weekend.

Bruno Fernandes (£10.5m) is the only Manchester United player who has a double-digit ownership in FPL at the time of writing, with three Spurs players – Doherty, Son and Harry Kane (£10.5m) – featuring in more than 10% of Fantasy squads.


Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Aurier, Dier, Sanchez, Reguilon, Hojbjerg, Sissoko, Ndombele, Lamela, Son, Kane.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Bailly, Maguire, Shaw, Matic, Pogba, Fernandes, Rashford, Greenwood, Martial.

        insufferable poster. When he does poorly hes nowhere to be seen, when he does well its constant bragging on every single page.

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Depends on the rest of your team.

    A) KDB/Antonio -> Rodríguez/Kane
    B) KDB/Davis -> 6.5/Kane
    C) Keep KDB

    McCarthy
    Trent, Virgil, Mitchell
    Salah, KDB, Son, Foden, Bissouma
    Jimenez, Antonio

    Steer, Bellerin, Holding, Davis
    Bank 0.9m, 2FT

    I’m just gonna use the 2FT tonight I think. Welcome, Son and DCL.

    Begone, Werner and Foden

    1. Stockport Hatter

      Good moves.

  7. Gudjohnsen

    OGS really is clueless

  8. Jolly Good
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Spurs have been so random
    Terrible vs Everton
    5 goals vs soton
    Terrible vs new castle
    5 goals vs Utd....

    1. Zalk
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Both games with 5 goals they've played against 10 men though.

    2. ivantys
      • 3 Years

      Performing on alternate weeks that's the hint

  9. RAFA THE GAFFA

    Just waiting for Davies to come on to block my Bissouma points now

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years

      will happen

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years

        I know

  10. DAZZ

    Bailly dirty ! Thats awful

    1. Blues for Salah
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Completely agree. Bailly deserves a little Roy Keane v Alf Inge Haaland action.

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Hjoberg foul first ... and yet more play acting

  11. _Gunner

    1. KGFC

      Same

  12. GAMBIT
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Trying to fit Salah, KDB, Son, Jrod in the team without ripping it apart

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No Bruno?

      1. GAMBIT
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        They can't get a pen every week can they?

    2. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I’d rip it apart pal!

    3. Zilla
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Well I had that until Jose said Son was injured..

  13. potatoace
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Son down.
    Out from 5 weeks.

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Nope, he's miraculously recovered.

  14. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Proper humiliation this

  15. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Son looks like he is out for 3 weeks at least

    1. KGFC
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Nah, Mou just confirmed it's 8 weeks out

  16. Hulk Smash
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Odds on Doherty coming on? Considering he wouldn't have to defend and my nan could nick a goal in this game, he could do bits.

    1. Steinburg FC
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Davies on before

  17. Zilla
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Son doing an Aguero

  18. Squib
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    So far behind the curve now, I have just rage sold Auba, Soucek and Fernandes for Son, James Rodriguez and a punt on Pulisic.

  19. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    A -8 is on the cards

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'm looking at -16. Nothing to lose. 😀

      1. Iceball
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        16 points to lose

        1. The Polymath
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I'll get them back.

  20. SEXY SOLO SAUCE

    Why was Bruno subbed?

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Bcoz Ole is stupid

    2. FPL_Devil
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      We are going to lose. No need to play him

      1. El Presidente
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Sub Pogba that is running like an 80 yld

    3. KGFC
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Wanted to punish WW for coming to watch his sh*t team

    4. Saxe-Gotha
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Tactical. Although I probably would have done Pogba > VdB.

    5. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      To 'shore up' the midfield

  21. FPL_Devil
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    As a United fan looking for positives, I can only hope Sancho comes in. This club is a disgrace right now. We need to fix this club and that starts with getting rid of the problem. I really hope Glazers out and Woodward out.

    PS: thanks for listening to my rant.

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      defence is problem man

      1. FPL_Devil
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah but who bought the defence.

      2. Stockport Hatter
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Defence needs sorting as a priority. It’s ok though they have an aging striker who gave up playing properly a couple of years back!!!

    2. MSTRKRFTSMN
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A hahahaha hahahaha you are dreaming about sancho. Dreaming!

      1. FPL_Devil
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I am dreaming.

    3. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Sancho isnt stupid to leave better team for United.

    4. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No chance Sancho comes in. It would have been done by now, not 24 hours before the deadline. You havnt thrashed out a deal in 3 months, you wont get it done in 1 day

      1. FPL_Devil
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Well thanks for crushing my hopes. Just looking for something.

        1. MSTRKRFTSMN
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Serious name change in order mate

    5. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Firstly your manager is a PE teacher, the squad as it is should be comfortably 4th. Secondly if you want to close the gap defense is the area that needs investment

        1. FPL_Devil
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Realistically we aren’t going to get a CB this window. Obviously that is more important if they were both at the same stage. I still believe Sancho is possible. That’s why I’m saying that.

      • Zalk
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, I don't think more people with no interest in defence is the solution there.

      • KGFC
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Honestly, don't want Sancho. That would block all the transfer money in one mega signing. What we need is a CB and DM at the minimum.

        1. FPL_Devil
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Why do we need a DM. Matic, Pogba, Fred.

          1. MSTRKRFTSMN
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Matic, Pogba, Fred

          2. The Ejiptian King
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            The problem is that none of them are any good, same with our 85 CBs.

          3. KGFC
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Good you've typed it.

            Now read the names in your head and you'll understand why none of them are good enough for United.

      • Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Defence is a priority right now, our centre backs are all pathetic and should be ashamed to call themselves professionals

      • XabiAlonso
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Why on earth would he want to go to you guys no offence

        1. potatoace
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

        We feel your frustration. Just don’t fix the defense before the Leeds game please.

        1. FPL_Devil
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Don’t worry. With this board not a chance of that happening.

      Would you consider using WC if it is -8?

      1. Forza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        No

        1. Forza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I suppose I'd consider it but I'd probably decide against it.

        2. Dont give a fuchs
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          -12 then?

            • 9 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Maybe, depends on context and what you make of the potential GW 18-19 blanks and doubles.

      2. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years

        Happy with the other 11 or 12?

        1. Dont give a fuchs
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          yes pretty much. Maybe if on wc I might do 4 5 changes in total

      3. Iceball
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Yes. Rather do hits later

      Werner and Podence to Brewster and Son?

    9. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Son captain vs West Ham?

      1. Stockport Hatter
        • 7 Years

        I am

      2. Danstoke82

        He will blank as everyone will have him back in. The ultimate FPL troll.

    11. Begbie.
      • 10 Years

      Greenwood off when Pogba is doing his absolute best to get a red card? Ole 😆

    12. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Perhaps Victor Nilsson Lindelöf is pretty good?

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 6 months ago

          No he's awful, they're all crap. Even wan bisakka can't defend anymore and he certainly can't do anything on the ball

        • Royal5
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Certainly better than Bailly

        • Zalk
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          He's on par with the rest of united's defence.

        • ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          United fans just love to scapegoat and Target a player when things go wrong to cover for other's mistakes, it was Lingard earlier..

      2. ivantys
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Van De Beek always comes on when they losing

      3. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        If you had both Kane and Son, who would you rather captain next week?

        1. Iceball
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
